In early days of Sun and Moon, Pelipper + Tapu Koko + Raichu-Alola has been used to exploit Thunder and Raichu's ability. However, it falls short due to its poor bulk that usually got it OHKOed. If equipped Life Orb, it is rendered unable to take hits. And if it is unable to OHKO the opponent, it will lose. If equipped Focus Sash, it lacks power. Oh ok.
